My iPhone 4s says that my software version 5.0.1 is up to date.  Why am I not receiving the notification that the new update is available for me to download?

I have an iPhone 4s, not jailbroken.   I was able to update to 5.0.1 when it came out last year.  When 5.1.1 came out, I noticed that I never received the
notification that a new update was available.  I updated my 2 ipads and my wife's iphone 4.  I didn't bother looking into it, since I didn't feel the need to update to 5.1.1.  Now I want to update to ios 6, but when I go to Settings > General > Software Update.  It checks for updates , but still shows me that my 5.0.1 is up to date.  I plug into itunes and check for update there and it still indicates that 5.0.1. is up to date as well. 
Does anyone know what this is happening and how I can update to ios 6?
Thanks for the input.

  • When I connect my new iPhone 4s to the computer and iTunes is running, I am advised that a new update is available, but when I download it, I am informed that my phone can not be updated because it has an incompatible hardware

    When I connect my new iPhone 4s to the computer, iTunes informs me that there is an update avaialble and I procceed to download only to be told that my phone has incompatible hardware so cannot be updated. Any advice please

    Hi, I just re-downloaded the update, but instead of telling it to download and install, I just clicked on download only. This is a 813 mb file and I am on limited broadband usage. I did it this way thinking that I would get a chance to see the exact wording when it tried to install, however, I have no idea how to try and install the file now and when I came to click on the iphone symbol on itunes, the download diassapeared, where to I have no idea. I can't afford to download it again, and besides it takes approximately three hours to download it in any case, so all I can remember is that the error message stated that it couldn't update because the phones hardware was not compatible.

  • I am not receiving email notifications that appointments have been accepted

    I am sending appointments to via iCal to another mac user.  He has received them, accepted them, but I am not receiving confirmation of his acceptance.  Hmmm

    It is a good idea to include the machine type and OS version in your problem posts.
    Get him to check the email address that your invitattions are coming from. Does it correspond to one you are using? Can he email you at that address?

  • Has anyone else had a problem with the Artist search buttons search peramiters changing after Apples latest ipod update ? I synced my ipod touch recently and it came up with a message saying a new update was available for the ipod but might take an hour .

    Last time I synced my ipod touch it ofered me an update for the pod that could take about an hour , I did it and now it doesnt search properly . When I used the Artist tab at the bottom of my ipod before it would find every single song on the ipod by that artist (ie it searched by TRACK Artist) . Now it only find the songs by any given artist that are on Albums by that Artist (ie it searches by ALBUM Artist) What that means is it wont find any song by any Artist on a Various Artist CD . HAS ANYNOE ELSE GOT THIS PROBLEM OR A SOLUTION?

  • Ordered iPhone 5 over the phone 10/3 and have not received any notification...

    I used an update on one of my other lines on the account and still have not received any notification that I even ordered it. The only thing it says is we can no longer update the phone line we ordered it on because we are waiting to receive and activate a new device. I can't even track or know that Verizon put in an order for the account for the iPhone 5. What should I do? Is anybody experiencing this? Should I call? I swear if they didn't put my order in and I get this new 11/2 push back date, I am gonna be really, really, upset.

    Did they by chance give you a conformation #. I know i ordered my on the Sept.14th. I had an expected delivery date of Oct. 5th everything was good and got the conformation that my upgrade went through even. I got worried about mine when I knew they had been shipping the phones early and they still by the 3rd had not charged my card. It turned out after my order was confirmed they lost the order, I didn't get the confirmation "EMAIL" after getting my confirmation # online. So i had to reorder my phone on Wed. because they had no record of my order even being placed. It may be a good thing that they atleast show you still have an order in though.

  • Why does iphone 4 say software version 7.1.2 is up to date when 8.1.3 is available?

    Why does iphone 4 say software version 7.1.2 is up to date when 8.1.3 is available?

    Because iOS 8 and above isn't compatible with it.

  • All UI of iPhone 5 is iOS7 but software version show iOS 8.1.3

    I using iPhone 5 with iOS 8.x.x. I backup my iPhone 5 data on iCloud automatically.
    Last month, my iPhone 5 has problem with battery issue. I join "iPhone 5 Battery Replacement Program" a few weeks later my iPhone 5 is come back to me with new device. I turn it on and want to restore my backup from icloud but it not work. I'm avoid it by choose "Set Up as New iPhone."
    When I checking software version, the result is iOS 8.1.3 but I noticed that all UI i.e. menu icon, text ,and order is same with iOS 7 UI.
    Is it correct that all UI of iPhone 5 is same with ios7 when result of software version checking is iOS 8.1.3?
    And
    Why I can't restore data from iCloud?

    Hey there naphon,
    It sounds like you are concerned that the interface appears to be iOS 7 and you need to restore your iCloud backup to get your data back. You can use this article to create a local backup of your phone to iTunes and then restore the devices software:
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    When prompted you should be able to select the iCloud backup and let that restore from there. 
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

    I have an I Pod Nano and would get messages to update my software.  In my I Tunes I have 1,900 songs but after the updates it will only sync 933 songs.  My current software version is 1.0.2.  What am I doing wrong or is it something in the software.  I have not done anything different in my I Tunes and all songs are checked.  Could someone please help or advise me what to do?

    Thank you Gail, but not to be ignorant but can I send you a print screen on what I am looking at.  I will try am explain what I see: I hooked up my I Pod Clicked on Music checked Sync Music 1909 Songs select Playlist, Artists, albums, and genres checked Include music videos Playlists checked 50's Music checked 70's Music checked 80's Music checked 90's Music checked 2000 Music checked 2010 Music   These are songs that I downloaded onto my I Tunes.  I bought me a new computer but when my data was transferred from old computer to new computer a lot of my songs on my hard drive were lost, but they were able to save all my songs on I tunes.  My I Pod is still connected Clicked on "On this Ipod" Music 938  Songs 2.2 days So my question to you is if I have 1,909 songs on my ITunes how come only 938 transferred to my IPod.  I checked my IPod and it shows only 938 songs transferred.  This did not happen before until I Tunes asked me if I wanted to update to a newer version.  Last month I did have all my 1,909 songs on my I Pod.  I hope this explains what I am asking

  • I install at the new update cc2014 but for some reason in my computer appear double app the old one and the new  but the new dose not gave the setup that I have in my old version! What happen ?

    I install at the new update cc2014 but for some reason in my computer appear double app the old one and the new  but the new dose not gave the setup that I have in my old version! What happen ?

    Seriously, I doubt that your answer helped Erik.  He has two issues.
    He installed the new program and has a double icon folders with software. One for the new &  one for the old.  (I have this same problem.)
    He must have attempted to open one of the products and no longer see his personal settings transferred over.  (The install will ask to have those settings migrating, but you have to accept it. eh, I could be wrong; but, that what i remembered doing.
    I concur with his first. 
    However, i can not get any of my products to work.  Ie. have to constantly click on icon to open; once open i get a unexpected error and have to close. I'm on a mac pro w/ latest os system.
    In addition, I have tried to uninstall the older by clicking on the application's manager icon.; Unfortunately, it shuts down at each attempt.  Therefore, I am unable to un-install the old product or the new. 
    Possibly, we were hoping that the new product would be simply updated if an old recent was already installed. 
    Instead, the installation simply created a new icon and the new folder with product.

  • Hi, please help me , i get notification about a new update for my iPad when I do the instal for the new version it is asking me for a passcode but which passcode may I have to enter? Because when I enter my gmail passcode it is call me that my pass fail

    Hi, please help me , i get notification about a new update for my iPad when I do the instal for the new version it is asking me for a passcode but which passcode may I have to enter? Because when I enter my gmail passcode it is call me that my passcode is failed

    The passcode you need to enter is the passcode you set on your device. It is the passcode that you enter when you turn on your iPad or awaken it from sleep after and Auto lock.
    If you do not know or remember your password and did not store it somewhere then you will have to restore your device.

  • I do not want to update to Lollipop right now.  How can I get rid of the notification that wants me to install.  It says 'Install Later' or Install Now. I don't want to do either so how can I get rid of this notification that keeps popping up?

    I do not want to update to Lollipop right now.  How can I get rid of the notification that wants me to install.  It says 'Install Later' or Install Now. I don't want to do either so how can I get rid of this notification that keeps popping up?

    You cannot stop it from popping up.
    it will continue every few minutes until its installed.
    just keep using the back button near right side of home button.
